IMPROVEMENT IN PANELlNG-MACHINES.

' Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 124,267, datedMarch'5, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SILAs HEYSER, of J ackson, in the county of Jacksonand State of Michigan, have invented anew and Improved Panel-Machine;and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to makeand use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawingforming part of this specification.

My invention consists in improvements which will be first described andthen clearly pointed out in the claim.

Figure 1 is a horizontal section of my improved machine. Fig. 2 is alongitudinal section of the same; and Fig. 3 is a transverse section.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts.

A is a suitable rectangular frame, with an ordinary table, B, on thetop, on which is arranged a broad vertical guide, 0, made adjustablelaterally by means-"of the slotted bars' D and clamping-screws En Saidguide, also, has a notch in the lower edge near the center, throughwhich therotary planing-tool F works against the board to be acted on,which is fed along the side of the guide inany suitable way, and held upsnugly against it by the spring H. T is a short adjustable guide placedin front of guide 0, behind the cutting-point, between which and guide 0the board passes as it is dressed. This cutter F is mounted on the upperend of the vertical mandrel G, mounted in fixed bearings, and acts uponone side of the board, while another similar cutter, I, mounted on asimilar mandrel, J, which is mounted in bearings on a block, K,adjustable toward or from the mandrel G, works on the other side. Thesaid cutters are suitably shaped for makin g the wide rabbets at theedges of the boards, such as is common in paneled boards. The block K isconnected by bolts M, which pass through slots in the support 0, with asliding bar, N, which holds it in position, and is forced forward by ahand-screw, P. Q represents sheetmetal or other hoods placed over thecutters and provided with extensions leading to one end of the frameparallel with the guide 0, and arranged to conduct the chips off thetable, the said chips being forced by the blast induced by the rotationof the cutters. These hoods have openings at the sides suited for thecutters to work through to reach the boards to be dressed, and one ofthem is placed at the rear side of the guide (3.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Pat cut- The hoods Q Q, constructed as described, I

when combined with panelin g-tools F F placed in one end thereof, andoperating to cut out the shavings and to produce a current of air whichforces them through the hoods.
